Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

This is my next weekend project. No one will even know I'm wearing a helmet.

Inherited from my father, but too old and has a crack in it. After a breaking in period it fit me just fine. Also, not a mushroom.

i had one for 4 years and it was great. i noticed a crack in it recently so i had to replace it. i think they recommend replacing it after that long anyway because the foam becomes brittle.

also, a cracked helmet is better than no helmet at all.
